The cleaning tool has a cleaning rod attached to a first cleaning portion and a second cleaning portion. The first cleaning portion (which may have bristles) may rotate three hundred and sixty degrees prior to entering raceway of the rifle while the second cleaning portion (which may have a swab or sponge) remains fixed to the cleaning rod and rotates three hundred and sixty degrees along with a handle portion of the cleaning rod. More specifically, the first cleaning portion may rotate independent from the second cleaning portion.
